B5e fcneral Phil. Sheridan is making
mo a party of friends to take a long
horseback ride down through the
Valley of Virginia, the scene OF his
old cavalry exploits. The party
will start some time next month
Senator Don Cameron will he one
of the number. General Sheridan
and Senator Cameron visited the
same section last summer, and
were cordially received and hos.
pitably entertained at several
points.
This is the same General Sherl-
dan whose barbarous torch spread
such wild and wautm waste and
desolation through the valley dur
ing the war, '.laying in ashes the
beautiful and happy homes OF IN
nocent women. young and helpless
children and aged men," and who,
over those ruins boasted that a
crow could not fly without carrying
his ralionS. That such a man was
s.hospitabls received andcnterfaln
e." by the people of Virginia last
summer. we do not believe. Rid
dIcberger alone, if NE remember
alright, claimed him for his guest.
At least if Virginians at that time
were so forgetful Of their deccncy
and self respect as TO show him
amy attention, it is to he hoped.
that they will not he guilty again
OF such an objectionable sin. The
brave soldiers of the Union, like
Meade, Hancock and Grant: have
our respect and cannot he received
too hospitality. In the presence OF
such men it is right that no I'M
pleasant memories Should be cher
iShed, and we honor ourselves Ill
honoring them, but Sheridan is nc
less a brute now than he assuring
the war and entitled TO nosconsld
Grafton at the hands OF any res
pectable man. That this man
should be allowed TO make his tr
umplant rideup valley inpeace
but like a miserable crow carry his
own rations with him, is The hope
expressed by Gen. Thomas L. Ros
ser, in a letter recently published
Which should be readily concurred

A Smoking Car Incident.

a little man with gray eyes rushed into the
smoking room of Pullman car of the Chi
cago and Atlantic road the other day and,
taking safety match from the safe on the
vail, began scratching the percussion end on
1ne woodwork Two bald headed men who
were sitting in the compartment smiled
Serenely as they watched the little fellows
vain efforts to strike a light.
"You can't light one of those matches I'M
less you strike the emery paper on the side OF
the safe" said one of the spectators. becoming
annoyed at the rasping noise.
The ''greeny' smiled complacently and said
he guessed he could. Another match was
rubbed along the panels of the room, then
across the sole of big right foot, and finally
broken in diagonal sweep over pantaloon
leg.
E'You can't do it, 1 tell you," repeated the
same spectator, shifting his position.

Four So bills were piled upon one another
in quick order, and then the little man took
a match from the safe, walked up to the door
and rubbed the percussion head along the
ground, flinty glass The little stick burst
into flame and burned rapidly as the little
man picked up the four bills and walked out
upon the platform to enjoy the crisp air.
After he had gone the bald headed men spoke

Senator PADDOCK Thre,r too straieIt.


II used to go to school with Senator-elect
Paddock, of Iowa. said a man in a Madison
street barber shop yesterday. Besides being
a good scholar and jolly playmate, Paddy
was the best marksman with a SNOWFALL in
the school. At the noon recess one day Pad
dock and several of the boys got together to
have snowballing contest on the playground
The battle had ragged for fifteen minutes or
So when one of the boys saw the principal of
the school walking down the middle of
the road on his way home to dinner. He
wore tall, black plug hat, which sat upon
his head like cat upon grindstone. Pad
dock, who saw the teacher almost as soon as
anybody, suggested that we give him a
Volley The boys demurred Paddock then
said he would take long range shot at the
hat just for luck. Scooping up two handfuls
of soft snow the embryo statesman nodded it
into perfect sphere, and taking careful aim
shot it after the retreating pedagogue with
remarkable accuracy. The ball hit the tile
amidships and scattered the wreck ten feet
away. The teacher looked round to discover
his assailant, but there was no one in sight.
the principal related his noon experience, and
declared that there was only one boy in the
school who could throw a SNOWFALL $50 feet
with any precision. That boy, he said, was
Paddock, and, without waiting to take the
customary rule, the teacher seized an apple
Sappling as big round as baseball club, and,
taking the champion marksman by the collar,
he laTTuped him until both stood in a cloud
of dust. Paddock never threw any more
snOwballs at the teacher. "-Chicago Herald.
